drive organized capital from the state,

resolution that the House stand ad-
journed until $50 o'clock out of respect
to the independence OF Texas. This motion
provoked quite discussion, which called
Tor some resentment from native-b born

tanning 10 the views of several men well
posted in the drug business, the Senate

WHAT WILL THE SENATE DO?
Considerable speculation is INDUCED in
by the IoJ5ies and members Of
the House, rs 10 the probable action
OF the Senate IN the Willis case.
Judge Willis Counsel and those who are
actively working in his interests, are
leaving nothing UndOpe to try tc secure
the Senate's disapproval OF the Houses
action. The sentiment here smong all
who listenedto the evidence and proceed
ings in the case, from en- unbiased stand
point, is that the action of the House was
just verdict, and will be supported by
the approval Of the people Of the state
who love pure judiciary.

Like the darkey's black-gum log, the
land bill and railroad commission bill
have been Wedged, msuled aud chopped
until not particle of the original bark is
left, and yet they resist ell attempts to
reduce them to proper shape. No doubt
some of the members and Senators, like
that same sable toiler, when he witnessed
the lightning rive sturdy oak lear by,
are ready to lxclaim, "Bress der Lord,
GIN dis feller lick an you Will find yer
match"
